The project covers the following [http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry language tags].

−

* kw, kw-GB (Cornish, unspecified orthography)

+

* kw, kw-GB (Cornish, unspecified orthography - but I suggest we use kw-GB for the SWF, since that is the tag with some historical usage and not use plain kw at least for the time being)

* kw-uccor (Cornish, Unified orthography)

* kw-uccor (Cornish, Unified orthography)

* kw-ucrcor (Cornish, Unified Revised orthography)

* kw-ucrcor (Cornish, Unified Revised orthography)

* kw-kkcor (Cornish, Commom Cornish orthography)

* kw-kkcor (Cornish, Commom Cornish orthography)

Note that the Standard Written Form does not yet have a tag. It might be possible to use kw I suppose... again watch this space for developments.

+

Note that KS does not currently have a tag.

There are is a huge amount of software and documentation which we would like to translate, so to make the task more manageable, here is a list of some of the more popular and useful packages which the project will attempt to target first.

There are is a huge amount of software and documentation which we would like to translate, so to make the task more manageable, here is a list of some of the more popular and useful packages which the project will attempt to target first. Some of these have already been started by [http://www.kernewegva.com/medhelweyth.html Treylyans] so contact them via their [http://www.kernewegva.com/forum/index.php Forum] if you are interested in those particular topics.

* A spell checker - Need to find a Cornish word list/dictionary with an open license. We will also need to deal with mutations, but I think the Welsh translation project has already had to get over that hurdle, so we can look there for inspiration.

* A spell checker - Need to find a Cornish word list/dictionary with an open license. See [http://giellatekno.uit.no/cor.html SWF parser and spellchecker] prototype

For most projects, the task is just a question of getting a file containing a set of English messages and providing an equivalent set of Cornish messages underneath them. There are a few exceptions to this, being glibc and anything requiring a dictionary/spell checker.

It is recommended, but not required, that new subscribers to the list send a self-introduction briefly describing who they are and their interest in Cornish. Postings in both English and Cornish (any orthography) are acceptable. We welcome all levels from beginner to expert.

To avoid issues of which orthography (spelling system) to use, I'm proposing the following rules for the project:

Make sure you know which orthography you are going to use

Make sure that you clearly label (by using the correct IANA tag) the files

Please don't mix and match the different orthographies in the same file

There is no harm in having multiple translations of the same software, although its better to have one complete translation than several partial ones.

I would generally encourage the use of the Standard Written Form (SWF) if you do not have any particular personal preference. Even then there is a choice of spelling. Currently there is the issue of the lack of a dictionary in SWF, although there is a word list at the end of the specification itself.

Please don't criticize anybody just because they happen to prefer using a different orthography to you

These rules are an attempt to try and get the project off the ground, I'm sure that they will evolve with time and through discussion.
